Re: North Loop Neighborhood
This is another sign that the city (and Metro Transit) really, really, really need to figure out how to better serve the North Loop with transit. Yes, it's so lacking. I don't know, maybe have continual "circulator" buses that stem from the core and S-cut through the North Loop via, like,...

Re: Gateway Tower (RBC/Four Seasons) - 37 stories - 503'
Exactly. I can't imagine it's more cost effective. I don't know if something arose with the Library cooperation? Wasn't an issue before. And like alexschief said, it's hideous and will make the Marquette Plaza building look like a giant flatscreen TV with an ugly power cord hanging across Nicollet.

Re: Minneapolis Skyway System
Not adding anything new, just chiming in. I've been a downtown resident for 16 years, and I love the skyway system. Well, maybe appreciate is a better word. I always opt for sidewalks, because it just humanly more normal, fresh air and city experiences, and as the crow flies, skyways don't have effi...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
The Origami building is getting some brick TLC the past few days. Any news upon what may go in there?

Re: Washington Avenue
Or, how about leaving the building vaulted on the 4 legs as designed. End of story. There's more than enough store frontage on Washington... if there was any interest.

Washington Square - 20, 100, 111 Washington Avenue S
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. (Did a search) The glass lobby addition to the 100 Washington building looks like tacked-on crap, IMHO. I know they needed their backside serviced because of leakage, so that work makes sense. Wasn't this a Minoru Yamasaki designed building? Like it ...

Re: Mill City Quarter - 300 South 2nd Street
I'm still waiting for the woonerf to connect to the river. At the moment, it looks like it will end just south under the the 3rd Ave. bridge, in a Thelma & Louise sort of way.

Re: The Commons - Downtown East Park
Initially the first phase was only going to be green space...we ended up with a lot more than that. I think the future phases probably won't be completed as planned, but we will see additions/changes as the park ages. Agreed. IMO, there's no amount of money, studies, or algorithms factoring workfor...

Re: The Commons - Downtown East Park
The fences are down on the second block, although it looks like they are still doing finishing touches. Walked through this morning. The park certainly looks nice, and will be great for the residents of the Edition, but I'm still concerned about what people will do in it when there aren't events at...

Re: Stadium LRT Station, Ped Bridge & Plaza (MSFA block)
I walked over the ped bridge, took a look from below. I like it more than I thought. I just don't care for the arches by the station. I understand the artistic connection to the river, but ugh. Is there a precedent for removing commissioned art like this? Maybe move it to Scherer Park.

Re: Solhem Project - 721 1st St N
Exactly. Front page of Downtown Journal, the petition rouse, etc.He could also be really smart, and be using this as cover for a move he was planning to make anyway.

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates
Pluss wun.The only thing I really don't like is the visual exhaustion that the new ped bridge, the station, the arches, and all the other stuff over there are now. It's just such a jumble.

I have stepped back from the ledge. I have found Jesus. I think office space should be elsewhere. Like, on that block a block south.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News
I sense Grey Poupon may have been exchanged.The thing is I, like many people who live in my building, have a pretty expendable income. We talk about wanting better retail and restaurant options downtown.

I'm still a fan of Missi Elliot (Mississippi to Elliot Park). Maybe the hanging chads on this vote will be counted.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News
Exactly, WTF. This is fantastic news. At least with this store, Off Saks, etc. a moderate income person can patronize and make purchases frequently. That's what the Mall needs.
